I think that's a safety thing (i.e. if the coprocessor generates PWM outputs that can override disabled mode, or allows additional robot drivers, etc etc). Technically, it IS the FIRST controller controlling the robot, but just reading output from another device. I've seen teams use PID IC's and other "electronic parts" that have powerful DSPs and powers built-in
